I had spent about four months working with Lauren and Jason, a couple in their mid 50’s, on the sexual decline they’d suffered over the last decade of their relationship. Like most couples in long-term relationships, they’d experienced ebbs and flows in desire over their 20-year partnership — a dip after kids, a surge after a good vacation — but things had dwindled so significantly in recent years, they were contemplating a split. Fortunately, I was able to help them breathe life back into their relationship. At their last session, Lauren asked if she could get my opinion on her 25-year-old daughter, Katie.
Lauren chuckled. “I feel crazy asking this because it is on the other side of the spectrum from the concerns my parents had about me when I was her age, but as far as I know, Katie has only had sex a handful of times, and she’s never had a long-term relationship.”
